I know I am coming to this conversation late, and that my idea may have already been expressed, but it can't hurt to mention it again.

The schools in my town supported this action, and allowed the students to remain silent as a means of free speech. They not only allowed it, but some of the teachers encouraged it. I am told that at least one of the teachers actually took part and did not speak to her students at all.

So here goes. I wonder if the schools would be as supportive of a group of students who took the same action in protest to abortion? I would assume that the majority of those students would be Christians, and that the "protest" would probably be organized through the churches on a national basis. The participants could hold up little cards annoucing their silence in support of all those who will never have the opportunity to speak for themselves.

It only seems fair that the schools and universities that provided recognition to the rights of free speech of one group would provide it to another group. Wait, I forgot we were dealing with liberals.
